REEL GEMS: Tank Girl

After a comet disrupts the rain cycle of Earth, the planet has become a desolate, barren desert by the year 2033. With resources scarce, Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) -- head of the powerful and evil Water & Power Corporation, the de facto government -- has taken control of the water supply. Unwilling to cower under Kesslee's tyrannical rule, a pair of outlaws known as Tank Girl (Lori Petty) and Jet Girl (Naomi Watts) rise up, joining the mysterious rebel Rippers to destroy the corrupt system.


This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of director Rachel Talalay's anarchic camp classic, TANK GIRL. Adapting the cult British comic by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett, Talalay's TANK GIRL is undeniably a product of the '90's but Lori Petty's iconic performance as the titular Tank Girl is a clear inspiration for Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and a truly timeless punk-rock anti-hero.
